The Lenzburg KC314 High-Definition 1080p HD Wristwatch Camera allows you to discreetly capture high-definition video or snap a high-resolution picture at a moment's notice. This elegant, analog watch features a genuine leather band with waterproof design; however, it is anything but standard. At the base of the watch face is a pinhole camera that will appear invisible to the naked eye and right next to it is an infrared (IR) ray. When activated, the pinhole camera will take crystal clear 1080p HD video and store it on the watch's built-in 8GB flash memory. The purpose of the infrared ray next to the pinhole camera is to allow for recording in the dark, it will illuminate the area in front of the camera, and the IR light won't be visible. The Lenzburg Wristwatch also has a 12MP digital camera for taking still photos and can also function as a webcam by installing the included webcam software*.

The camera can record roughly 15 minutes of video per GB of free space available. To ensure there is always plenty of available recording space, video can be transferred from the flash memory to a computer via a USB connection (cable included). With IR activated the camera's recording time is about 50 minutes compared to about 90 minutes if only the camera is in use. The camera's battery can be recharged either through a USB connection or AC charger (adapter included).

* No drivers will need to be installed for Windows ME, 2000, XP, Vista, 7 and higher, or MAC OS 9.2.2 and higher operating systems.

I picked this particular watch for the look. Overall, I only tested the DVR operations and setting the time/date. Both work as advertised. The price for this item is about double that for equivalent models that have different look.

Pros:

1. The watch is fairly easy to operate.
2. Attached manual is well-written and easy to follow.
3. Made sturdy and visually pleasant.

Cons:

1. Pretty heavy.
2. I've had some bad records (either because of copying or recorder itself, not sure)
3. There is no easy way to tell if the cam is on or off. As a result, I've recorded when I thought it was off and had it off when I thought I was recording.
4. I have already managed to lose the mic cover knob, and have not found any way to replace it yet.

The video quality is probably the best feature it has. Works fine when hooked up to the PC, easy drag and drop of media. the only problem is that when you are in picture mode the red light stays on solid making it suspicious. Also, when in audio mode the light flashes red and blue making it suspicious, but under video mode, the light is not on solid so it works great. Overall, it is a lot of fun and works like a charm in a covert situation. love it!

This product is a piece of junk. The resolution is definitely not high definition. There is no way to return the item to get a refund as Smarthome is only the middleman and will not accept a return. Do not buy. Save your money

worthy with the money I paid for. it actually has nothing to do with OS or Windows as long as your media player can play AVI format video.
